“Implants are like regrowing your tooth.” That is how Dr. Jared Shore describes them, and All-on-X dental implants bring that same permanence to patients missing most or all of their teeth. In Manhattan, NY, this full-arch solution replaces an entire row of teeth with just a few implants anchored in the jawbone, restoring a smile that looks, feels, and functions naturally.”
Losing most or all of your teeth can feel like losing a part of who you are, and the flood of information available online about replacement options can make an already difficult decision even more overwhelming. All-on-X, sometimes called full-arch implant dentistry, is one term you may have come across while researching how to replace a full row of missing teeth, and knowing what it actually involves can help you ask the right questions before choosing a path forward.
Â
Dr. Shore is an out-of-network, fee-for-service practice at 30 Central Park South in Manhattan. Dr. Shore has practiced dentistry for more than 25 years and built his reputation on a conservative, quality-first philosophy that favors predictable, well-planned treatment over one-size-fits-all procedures, and our restorative dentistry services reflect the options we believe give patients the most reliable results.
All-on-X is a surgical and restorative technique in which a small number of implants, often four to six per arch, are placed in the jawbone to support a full row of replacement teeth in a single procedure. It was developed as a fixed alternative to removable dentures for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth in an upper or lower arch.
Â
Because the technique relies on precise implant placement and angling, it typically requires extensive imaging, careful jawbone assessment, and a surgical team experienced in advanced case planning. Complete tooth loss remains common among older adults, and the 2024 CDC Oral Health Surveillance Report found that more than one in seven adults aged 65 and older have lost all of their natural teeth, which helps explain why full-arch replacement has become such a widely searched topic. Patients considering this route should know outcomes depend heavily on bone quality, overall health, and the complexity of the individual case.
Rather than taking on every case that comes through the door, Dr. Shore built his practice around procedures where he can deliver consistent, predictable results for his patients. Our restorative work centers on the “bread and butter” cases that make up the foundation of long-term dental health.
Â
We regularly place dental implants to replace one or several missing teeth, and we pair that work with fillings and other restorative solutions depending on what will hold up best over time. Several of our restorative services work together to rebuild both function and appearance, including the following:
Â
Â
Each of these options serves a different patient need, and part of our first conversation with you is figuring out which one actually fits your goals rather than assuming the most advanced option is automatically the right one.
Dr. Shore has spent more than two decades at the same Central Park South location, and that consistency comes from a deliberate decision to avoid procedures that carry a higher risk of complications. If a case calls for more advanced surgical planning than what our practice is built around, such as sinus lifts or zygomatic implants, we would rather tell you directly and point you toward the right specialist than take on treatment that does not match our conservative philosophy.
This honesty is part of why patients continue to trust us with decisions as significant as full tooth replacement. Dr. Shore’s approach was recognized by New York Magazine’s Best of New York, and he holds an associate professor role at Columbia Presbyterian, where ongoing exposure to advanced dental education continues to shape how he evaluates each patient’s care.
Choosing a full tooth replacement plan is not something anyone should have to figure out alone, especially when so many of the terms and techniques sound similar but carry very different levels of risk and recovery. Our team, which includes multilingual staff who speak Spanish, Chinese, and other languages, works to make sure every patient understands their options in plain terms before committing to any treatment.
Â
We also rely on straightforward tooth fillings and other foundational restorative work to help patients avoid needing more complex treatment down the road. Preventing small problems from becoming larger ones is often the most reliable path to a healthy, lasting smile.
Deciding how to replace missing teeth is not a decision to rush, and the right next step is an honest conversation about what your jaw structure, health history, and goals actually call for. Dr. Jared Shore has built a Manhattan practice around 25 years of conservative, quality-focused dentistry, and we would rather guide you toward the option that gives you a predictable, lasting result than push a single trending procedure that may not fit your case.
